Growth Manager

Prosper is looking for our Growth Manager, responsible for customer acquisition, activation and retention. Working alongside our founders, you will determine growth strategies, implement them, and assess the implications on Prosper's product.

We've built a great product that democratizes access to coaching, globally. Through user interviews, quantitative survey data, and three releases later - we know who our target users are, what messaging speaks to them, and how we will position our brand to win.

With the product ready and launch planning in motion, we are preparing for a major launch campaign in the new year. Your role is to run the demand side of the business in this next critical phase as we go from being an early stage company through to Series A funding. Anything that accelerates the growth of the business is within your mandate, including referral programs, PR campaigns, influencer marketing, paid acquisition, offline events and more.

This is a big role and as the business grows, you will get to build out your growth team. To begin with, you'll be working closely with the CEO, CCO and product team to drive demand for Prosper across many different channels.

We need someone who is willing to learn fast and experiment often to get numbers on the board - no matter what. You need to be able to keep a pulse on the small details, while zooming out to look at our overall growth trajectory.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Work on a small, entrepreneurial product team to build the Prosper brand and grow a global community of members and coaches

Conduct user interviews to understand behavior and psychology that will impact product marketing and growth efforts

Attend industry events where you will evangelize Prosper's product, mission, and user-centred culture

Be willing to hire and manage a team of content creators, including writers, analysts, interns, and freelancers

Mentor team members across the company on growth methodology

User-focused, with some experience conducting product interviews and supporting users

Obsessed with data and experiments – KPIs, hypothesis-driven experiments, CAC & LTV and data analysis will be your best friend. You’re excited about having a blank slate, uncovering new growth opportunities and learning as you go

We will achieve this by helping professionals make meaningful connections to opportunities, learn new skills, and easily access the coaching they need to get the career they want.
